Dr. Pepper Turkey Brine

Directions

1. 1

   Thaw the turkey completely, remove the bag of giblets, and rinse the cavity.

2. 2

   In a large container, mix all brine ingredients thoroughly. Submerge the turkey fully in the brine, ensuring it's completely covered.

3. 3

   Brine for 10-12 hours, keeping it cold in the refrigerator or a cooler packed with ice to maintain freshness.

4. 4

   When brining is complete, remove the turkey and pat it dry, inside and out, with paper towels.

5. 5

   For added flavor, rub the outside of the turkey with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and granulated garlic.

6. 6

   Cook the turkey in a Blackstone Pellet Grill (or your preferred cooking method) until the breast meat reaches 165°F and the legs and wings reach 180-185°F for perfect doneness.
